This Samoas pizookie was inspired by the classic girl scout cookie. It has a buttery dough as the base layer, topped with caramel, toasted shredded coconut, and a chocolate drizzle. The taste and texture reminded me exactly of the samoas cookie. I remember being in high school and trying to choose between these and the peanut butter cookie when girl scout cookie season came. Making this cookie defintely brough that nostagic feeling from high school, but I honestly think I like this samos cookie better in pizookie form. There is just something about eating a cookie with a spoon out of a cast iron skillet that is just so satisfying to me.
This samoas pizookie starts with my classic pizookie base with a buttery dough. I used oat flour and a flax egg to keep it gluten free and vegan friendly. After I cooked the base I added some homeade caramel and shredded coconut on top. The homeade caramel is the same recipe I used in my pecan pie bars. It has a secret ingredient that I really think gives it the best caramel flavor, which is cookie butter. This gives it that classic samoas flavor, and then add some toasted coconut to give it the well known texture. To finish is a dark chocolate drizzle. This adds the perfect finish to the sweet cookie to balance out the flavors. Then my favorite way to serve the pizookie is with a few scoops of ice cream. You could also add some whipped topping or even just eat it plain.
Pizookies will just never get old. I love trying all new flavors and comparing them to traditional cookies. This samoas pizookie definitely beat my expectations to the traditional girl scout cookie. It can be made gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free. Hope yall are enjoying the pizookie series and all the other pizookie flavors.
